Historical Ayutthaya – Khlong Toey port

This tour to Ayutthaya starts and finishes at Khlong Toey port in Bangkok. A journey back in time to the former capital which is now UNESCO's World Heritage site. A visit to a special Buddhist temple that looks like a Europen style church is followed by a long-tailed boat ride to Ayutthaya. The boat trip ends at Wat Phanan Choeng, an old temple with the largest sitting Buddha in the province. You will enjoy an authentic and delicious lunch before we visit interesting temples in Ayutthaya Historical Park, UNESCO's World Heritage Site. Last but not least, we visit the magnificent Khmer style temple ruin, Wat Chai Wattanaram.

Wat Phanan Choeng temple is best known for its giant sitting Buddha, one of the most beautiful in Thailand. The impressive Buddha image almost reaches the top of the chapel with its height of 19 meters.

Our guide and driver will meet you at the dock at Khlong Toey port in Bangkok. Port fees are included in the tour price. We may need to adjust the program to the cruise timing.

We travel up north for approximately one hour to Bang Pa In in Ayutthaya province and visit Wat Niwet Thammaprawat. King Rama V had this temple constructed in the style of a European church. The stained glass windows and unusual architecture make it one of the most unique Buddhist temples in Thailand.

From here we continue by private long-tailed boat. It is a nice way to experience local life along Chao Phraya River with cool breeze, fresh air, and friendly people. The boat trip ends at Wat Phanan Choeng, a temple older than Ayutthaya itself with an impressive sitting Buddha, the largest in the province. A lot of Thai people come here during the weekend to worship the Buddha image for happiness and prosperity.

At lunch time we enjoy a delicious Thai meal at a local restaurant.

After that we travel back in time to see old Siam (former name of Thailand). We go sightseeing in a comfortable minivan around Ayutthaya historical park, a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site. Several impressive temple ruins dating from the time Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam can still be seen. We will visit Wat Mahathat,Wat Lokayasuttharam, and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet (a royal temple similar to Wat Phra Keaw in Bangkok). Last but not least, outside of the historical park we visit Wat Chai Wattanaram. An impressive temple ruin built in Khmer (Cambodian) style.

After the tour our guide and driver will bring you back to the ship.

We had an excellent day with Petch, our tour guide. We went to Ayuttaya for the day. It was a full and very interesting day were we saw several different temples, had a ride on the river and a delicious lunch by the river. Petch keep us on track, being that we had a full day. The highlight of the tour was spending time on the river and seeing how people live on the river. It was delightful and very informative. Petch’s English was very good and she was full of energy. BKK tours gave us excellent communications. They picked us up at the cruise terminal and delivered us to our hotels at the end of the day. It was an unforgettable day for us and would highly recommend BKK tours for your visit to Thailand.

We have enjoyed our time with Ms Petch and Mr Don immensely. Ms Petch was very knowledgeable and was flexible to accommodate some personal requests and very concerned for our comfort and safety. She knows all the best spots for photos. The meals and snacks were excellent, local and authentic Thai cuisine. Cannot say enough good things about our experience with BKK – booking – email responses – the tour itself. We were on time and saw everything we wanted. Thank you! I feel like we have made a new friend 🙂
